INSTALLATION
These instructions do not apply to all vehicles. They are only meant as a general guide due to the number of different makes &
models. For vehicle specific questions contact your vehicle’s manufacturer.
Camera installation
There are several ways to mount the camera on the back of your car. But the most convenient is to mount it near the number
plate. Supplied within the kit are two mounting plates; one is intended to be fixed behind the number plate, and the other is for
surface mounted installation. Once the camera is affixed to either mounting plate the camera can be adjusted manually on its
vertical axis. Ensure that the cameras field of vision is not obstructed.
Bracket for licence plate mounting
A1. Remove the rear number plate; the plate may be affixed either directly to the vehicle or via a mounting bracket.
Dependant on the vehicle, screws/bolts or sticky pads may be used.
A2. If your vehicle utilizes a mounting bracket, position the camera mounting bracket (together with camera) behind the
number plate bracket if possible. Secure number plate bracket and mounting plates back to the vehicle with the original bracket
fixings.
A3. The number plate can then be remounted onto the bracket. If your vehicle is not supplied with a number plate mounting
bracket the camera can be mounted directly onto the number plate.
NOTE: ENSURE THAT THE CAMERA OR BRACKET DOES NOT OBSCURE ANY PART OF THE VEHICLE NUMBER PLATE!

Bracket for mounting direct to vehicle body
B. Remove the above number plate mounting bracket and fit the upper part of the two piece metal bracket with 4 off screws
(PA 2.6x14) as per image B1. The second (lower) part of the bracket can then be mounted to a suitable area of the vehicle body,
as per B2. All holes made in the vehicle bodywork whilst mounting lower bracket B2 should be treated with an appropriate rust
inhibitor prior to fitment of bracket. The two parts of the bracket can then be assembled together as shown below.

Electrical connection
1. Choose a routing path for the camera’s power cable through the vehicle’s body to the reverse light circuit. If in doubt, seek
professional installation assistance.
2. Some vehicles may have a hole available to pass the wire through, such as where the number plate light is mounted, or you
can drill a hole close to where the power cable is attached to the camera. Once you have chosen where the cable will enter
the vehicle’s body, remove the camera. If you are able to use an existing opening, skip the next two steps.
3. Before you drill a hole you MUST CHECK and see WHAT IS BEHIND WHERE YOU ARE DRILLING. If there are any vehicle
components, such as electrical parts or fuel system components behind where you are drilling, you must take whatever
precaution is necessary not to damage them. Remove the number plate and camera before drilling.
4. After you have drilled the hole, apply an appropriate rust inhibitor, insert the supplied grommet, then pass the camera cables
through the grommet into the vehicle. You must use the
grommet to prevent the metal edge of the hole from cutting the
camera cable. Next you’ll need to find the vehicle’s reverse
lights. Turn the vehicle’s ignition key to the accessory position,
engage the parking brake and put the car in reverse. WARNING :
DO NOT start the engine ! Look at the vehicle’s tail lights to see
where the reverse lights are located, they are the white lights.
To locate the reverse light’s 12V/24V + wire it will be necessary
to gain access to the rear of the vehicle’s tail light. For help
locating the vehicle’s reverse light circuit contact your vehicle’s
manufacturer for vehicle specific wiring diagrams.
5. Once you have located the reverse light circuit you will have to
route the camera cable to that location. You must securely
fasten the power cable to prevent it from being caught on any
vehicle component such as the boot hinge. Never route the
cable on the outside of the vehicle! The reverse light sockets on most vehicles have two wires connected to them. Usually
the negative wire is black and the positive wire is a coloured wire. If you are uncertain about the wiring, you can use a 12V/24V
multi meter available at most auto parts stores to determine which the positive wire is. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions
for the safe use of the multi meter.
6. After determining which wire is the positive and which is the negative, turn off the ignition key, then remove the battery’s
negative cable.
7. Splice the red wire using the supplied in-line wire connectors to the reverse light’s positive (+) wire. Use a set of slip joint
pliers to squeeze the TAP and insure good connection.

8. Next splice the black wire of the camera power cable to the reverse light negative (-) wire or ground.
9. Replace the reverse light bulb, and then re-install the light socket. Secure all the wires with cable ties or electrical tape.
10. Re-attach the negative battery cable to the battery.
Note: The camera can also be connected to an alternative ignition switched supply if the view from the camera is required
permanently whilst the vehicle is in use – this could be useful if the camera is installed in horsebox etc. Connection method is as
above.
Monitor Installation
When choosing a location to mount the monitor, make sure the monitor is in an area that will not obstruct your vision while
driving.
1. Before mounting the monitor, clean the mounting surface well.
2. Position the suction mount to the smooth surface which suits your requirement.
3. Press the suction cap against the smooth surface and press the lock down to attach and fix the mount to the surface.
4. Snap in the monitor to the suction mount.
5. Adjust the mounting arms to suit your view angle to the monitor and tighten the screws on the mount to fix the position.
6. Route the power cable to the vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket 12V/24V power outlet. The cable must not interfere with the
safe operation of the vehicle.
7. Insert the small 12V/24V DC plug of the power cable into the right side of the monitor.
8. Plug the 12V/24V cigarette lighter plug into the vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket.
To maximize the effectiveness of the suction mount, it is recommended that the application be performed under the following
conditions:
• Surface temperature should be between 21 and 38 degrees Celsius.
• Application below 10 degrees should be avoided.
• Application should not occur in direct sunlight.
Mounting should be protected from exposure to direct sunlight for a period of 24 hours.
NOTE: UNDER EXTREME BRIGHT LIGHT CONDITIONS, THE SCREEN IMAGE MAY TAKE A FEW SECONDS TO STABLIZE. PLEASE WAIT
UNTIL THE IMAGE HAS STABLIZED BEFORE REVERSING.
System testing
1. Reattach the vehicle’s negative battery cable.
2. Turn the ignition key to the accessory position, do not start the vehicle.
3. Engage the parking brake, and then put the gear lever in the reverse position.
4. After testing the unit and you are satisfied with the route you have chosen for the cabling, you are ready to complete
installation.
5. Route all wires behind interior panels or under carpeting so they are hidden. Use supplied cable ties to neatly gather any
excess wire.
